BBL with Dr. Perry **6 weeks update & better pics**

I am finally adding my 1 month post op pictures taken by the doctor, I don't have anyone take my pictures so I had to wait. I am feeling great overall but some days are better than others. I still feel some discomfort in the flank area and my waist but have been seeing Dr. Perry every week because I still have some areas that are swollen and may be scarring so he wants to keep seeing me weekly until this is no longer a concern. He massages those areas and breaks up the scarring tissue, it hurts but I feel so relieved afterwards. My measurements are 36-28-40 and I am really happy with my results, I didn't want a huge butt I just wanted a better looking one that looks in proportion with the rest of my body and this is exactly what I got.

On day 3 after my surgery I went for my first post-op visit with Dr. Perry and he found that the swelling was going down really fast, this was attributed to the fact that I had my first massage the morning after my surgery. I had two more follow up appointments one on the 12th and the other on the 14th. On my last visit my stitches were removed and the doctor found that most of my swelling had gone down already, all of my clothes from before were starting to fit again only this time they fit better thankfully. The only complication I've so far was diarrhea for about 13 days due to the antibiotics but luckily the day before I went back to work it went away. I returned to work on Monday and have been sitting on a pillow but placing most of the pressure on my thighs instead of my butt, I have noticed that my butt had reduced significantly but it is the size that I wanted I'm just hoping it doesn't go down any more. I don't have much pain but I do have a great deal of discomfort on my abdomen I feel it really tight and still have some lumps that I massage daily. In total I had 6 massages and wish I could have done more but it is very difficult now that I'm back at work. I finally got some pictures I can share, the post op pictures are not the best since I've had to take them myself. I am supposed to go back to the doctor when I am 1 month post op and he is going to take my pictures then, I will share as soon as I get them.

Today I'm 3 days post op. My surgery started on Monday around 11 am and was done around 3:30 pm. Dr. Perry called my husband himself to let him know that I was done. He has been a wonderful doctor so far he even wheeled me out to my car when my husband came to pick me up. My first night I was in some pain and constant draining I got up quite a few times during the night to pee and I took pain medication just in case. On Tuesday when I got up I felt very dizzy and almost fainted but quickly started eating wheat crackers and drinking water. That day I made it a point to eat every 2 hours, I had lots of soup and I drsnk water like never before. I had my first massage which was very painful and more liquid was drained I almost passed out again but the massage lady quickly gave me water with sugar and slowly I started to feel well again. After the massage I felt relieved and noticed that the swelling went down significantly from one day to the next and also it got a tad bit easier to get around. On Wed 6/6 I took a shower with antibacterial soap and felt a whole lot better. I drove to pick up my son from school by positioning my seat as straight up as possible and then placing a rolled up towel under my thighs, the massage lady showed me this. So your butt is in the air and no pressure is applied to it. This morning when I took off my garment to use the restroom I found it easier to take off and put back on, I still have a long way to go but the swelling has gone done a lot and I was even able to fit into some sweatpants that didn't fit in the day of the surgery. I'm going to request my before/after pictures so that I can share with you.
